On July 1, the opening of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area National Nanotechnology Innovation Base and the launch of the Nano Industry Alliance were held in Huangpu District and Guangzhou High-tech Zone, Guangzhou. Nearly 50 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area nano-industry chain upstream and downstream enterprises and scientific research institutes jointly launched the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Nano Industry Innovation Alliance to gather strength to create an industrial innovation highland in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
"The purpose of the alliance is to create a benign ecosystem, achieve interconnection, win-win cooperation, and promote the 'symbiosis and co-growth' of nanotechnology companies in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area." Guangdong National Nanotechnology Innovation Research Institute of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (hereinafter referred to as "Guangna Institute") Vice President and Director of the National Nanomedicine Engineering Technology Research Center, Professor Yang Xiangliang said. At present, Huangpu District and Guangzhou High-tech Zone have built a full innovation chain of "basic research + applied basic research + technology development + achievement transformation + science and technology finance", gathering more than 100 innovative enterprises in the nanometer field, achieving an output value of 100 billion, and preparing for the sprint " "Trillions of Manufacturing" has injected strong momentum.
This event is also a vivid practice for the two national-level development zones of Huangpu District and Nansha District to implement the " Guangzhou Nansha Comprehensive Plan for Deepening Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Comprehensive Cooperation with the World" issued by the State Council on June 14. The event specially invited Nansha District Development and Reform Bureau, Science and Technology Bureau, Industry and Information Technology Bureau, and other relevant departments and key enterprises to attend, to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation between the two national-level development zones in major scientific and technological innovation platforms, industrial coordinated development and other aspects.

Create a nano-innovation base:
Gathering more than 2,000 scientific research engineers in the future
In April this year, the National Development and Reform Commission approved the "Construction Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to Create a Nano Industry Innovation Highland" to promote the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to accelerate the establishment of nanotechnology innovation and Application demonstration area and world-class nano industry innovation highland.
As the core area for the development of the nano-industry in the Greater Bay Area, Huangpu District and Guangzhou High-tech Zone are led by Guanggna Institute to build the Guanggna Institute headquarters park and the "one park, one valley" major platform of China Nano Valley to nurture the development of the nano economy. New driving forces will accelerate the development towards scale and agglomeration.
On the same day, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area National Nanotechnology Innovation Base opened. The park is located in the Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone (Yuzhupian Zone), with a total construction area of 460,000 square meters. It is composed of three functional areas: a nanotechnology research and development core area, a pilot incubation area, and a living supporting area. This will become the headquarters R&D base of Guangna Institute, responsible for nanotechnology R&D and incubation functions. In the future, more than 2,000 nano-scientific research engineers will gather to form strong nano-industry R&D and incubation capabilities.

"The mission of Guangna Institute is to 'make up for the shortcomings of national scientific and technological innovation'. We focus on the 4-6 levels of the scientific and technological innovation chain to create a world-class nano-industry base for the transfer, transformation and industrialization of high-tech achievements." Zhao Yuliang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of the National Nanoscience Center, and president of the Guangdong Academy of Nanoscience and Technology, said.
Guangna Institute is a high-level innovation research institute jointly established by Guangzhou High-tech Zone and National Nanoscience Center. It settled in Huangpu, Guangzhou in 2019. Since its establishment, Guangna Institute has introduced 5 academician project teams and incubated more than 30 projects such as 5G filters, inorganic nano fireproof materials , AC LED technology based on rare earth luminescent materials, holographic hybrid display technology nano optical devices, etc. , forming a R&D team of nearly a thousand people and building a full chain of nanotechnology innovation.
In the scientific and technological innovation chain, levels 1 to 3 are basic research, levels 4 to 6 are transfer and transformation of results, and levels 7 to 9 are industrialization. The advantage of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area lies in levels 7-9 of the technological innovation chain. Relying on outstanding universities and scientific research institutions, basic research is also competitive.The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area National Nanotechnology Innovation Base will focus on levels 4-6 of the scientific and technological innovation chain, centering on the research and development directions of nanobiomedicine, nanointelligent technology, nanonew materials and nanonew energy, and promote global nanotechnology innovation results in Guangdong. The Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been incubated to form an industrial cluster with innovative and disruptive technologies as its core, creating a technological highland and industrial innovation center that leads the development of international nanotechnology.
"The National Nanotechnology Innovation Base in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was completed and opened, playing a core role in promoting the development of the nano-industry in the Greater Bay Area. In the future, Huangpu will become the core area for the construction of a national nano-industry highland in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, covering the Greater Bay Area district and even the whole country,” Zhao Yuliang said.
Industry alliance established:
Promote the "symbiosis and co-growth" of nano-enterprises in the Greater Bay Area
On the same day, leading enterprises in the nano field of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, key research institutions and other innovative entities jointly launched the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Nano Industry Innovation Alliance to explore the establishment of Innovate cooperation mechanisms to guide the coordinated development of enterprises in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the nano industry chain, and jointly build a collaborative innovation ecosystem for the nano industry in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
"The purpose of the alliance is to create a benign ecosystem, achieve interconnection, win-win cooperation, and promote 'symbiosis and co-growth' of nanotechnology companies in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area." Vice President of Guangna Institute, National Nanomedicine Engineering Technology Research Center Director Professor Yang Xiangliang said. Nanotechnology is widely used in traditional and emerging industrial manufacturing fields. The alliance will stimulate the enabling effect of nanotechnology and lead the upgrading and development of nano-related industries.
